We often think of choice as a thing. But a choice is not a thing. Our options may be things, but a choiceโa choice is an action. It is not just something we have but something we do.
Greg McKeownThe word priority was singular for 500 yearsโwhat does priorities meanโ'many many first things.'
Greg McKeownWe overvalue nonessentials like a nicer car or house, or even intangibles like the number of our followers on Twitter or the way we look in our Facebook photos. As a result, we neglect activities that are truly essential, like spending time with our loved ones, or nurturing our spirit, or taking care of our health.
